Nick P. O. V.

After the k!ssing drama at the party, i received all my gifts and went straight to my room devastated. After minutes of thinking, i decide to join the fun downstairs when the door slug open and i was surprised to see my ex.
"Nick, baby". She called and came to embrace me, i wanted to hug her tight but i found myself pulling her away.
She held my hands in tears. "Baby I'm sorry, Bella i mean your girlfriend explain everything to me. Baby please forgive me". She cried.
I was confused, did Bella tell her everything was fake? But that is not what matters now, what's important is that my Bella is back.
"Don't ask for forgiveness Bella, because i was never angry with you". I honestly replied and wipe off her tears with my palm. "That's because i will forever love you".
"I love you too baby".
We return back to the party holding hands to everyone surprise.
" Nick". Bella (baggy) called and joined us genuinely happy.
"Thank you Bella".
"Don't mention it Nick, consider it my birthday present to you".
"Thank you, you gave me the best present". I said and embraced her, Bella smile and joined in the hug to everyone surprise.
"Thanks again Bella and sorry for the way i always act toward you". Bella(gf) said.
" That is nothing, honestly i did this all for Nick because he is obsessed with you". She said and we both chuckled.
Bella(gf) gesture her hands for a shake.
"Friends"? Bella (gf) proposed.
" Friends" Bella(baggy) replied and they shook hands.
"To the new friendship and reunited relationship let's go party". Bella(gf) gesture.
"Yayyyyy". We all shout and went to join the party.
The rest of the party was fun, i had so much fun with my friends and when the party is over Jason volunteered to drop Bella and Courtney home.

"Thanks Jason, bye Courtney". I waved and alight from the car.
" Take care". They chorused.
I went inside and met mum laid on the couch.
"Mum". I tap her.
"Oh dear you are back". She yawned tiredly. "How was your first party?"
"Great Mum, I really had fun".
" Look at my daughter, looking so beautiful".
"Say that again Mum".
"Los Angeles thank you". She gesture her hands up making me laugh. "I hope you didn't take too much alcohol"?
"Come on Mum, you know i don't drink".
"Oh dear, there is always a first time for everything".
"Mum, what do you advise?"
"I will never advise you to drink because when i was a teenager i don't drink even through my colleague does. I wasn't a saint but I don't just like it until i get married".
"So did dad force you to take alcohol? Or How"?
"Yes and No. We have alcoholic wines in the bar at home, I wasn't aware that it was alcoholic so I tried it when we return home from our honeymoon but it was bitter so i spilt it out. Your dad get angry and punished me to finish 4 glasses and that was my worst nightmare as i get drunk. Since then i never tried it again but everything change a year after, we started attending parties together and i have to take a glass each night".
"Oh Mum so from a glass you become professional".
"Not really, i become an expert after securing my Job then you were 3 years old. I drink with my colleagues and get drunk during games and all but mostly i drink whenever i had a problem".
"So was that why you think i will drink? Because i went to a party, i should at least have a glass"?
"Many teenagers drink now, more perfect than the adults. Does Courtney drink"?
"No, there are also nonalcoholic wines at the party so that's what we had all through".
"Good".
"Mum do you want me to start drinking like other teenagers"?
"Dear, this is a little interrogation in disguise to be sure you are associating with the right friends and now am pleased, because to me teenagers who drink are red flags".
"Oh Mum". I shout.
"I'm just being protective".
" Good night mum".
I get to my room and remembered everything that happen again, i smile at the fact that i made Nick happy, but the question is am i happy?
The following day is Sunday, Mum went to church but i stay at home to rest because am still tired from yesterday party.
Around 11am i heard the doorbell, am sure it's not mum because we don't close that early from church. Even if its her, she can simply unlock the door and come in so i think it might be Courtney because she promise to pay me a visit. I didn't check who is by the door as I opened the door but my guess was wrong as i saw Nick in front of the door looking all handsome with his long hair style beautifully, carrying a flower bouquet and giving me his cutest smile
"I thought the deal is over so what did he want"? My subconscious ask but i ignored it and smile.
"Good morning".
"Ermm... Nick good morning, please come in".
I lead him to the living room still wondering why he is here.
"What can i offer you?"
"I'm good, this is for you". He said and gave me the flower bouquet.
"It's so beautiful, thank you". I said and managed to force a smile, I can't still figure out why he gave that to me.
"Did he later ends things with his girlfriend and decide to make our relationship real"? My subconscious said and I gasped.
"Bella are you alright"?
"Yeah I am, why are you here? I don't believe you came all the way here to bring me flowers". I said trying not to sound rude, because my subconscious is filling my mind with silly thoughts.
"Part of the reasons. I want to invite you out". He said and my eyes widen in shock.
"What? but why"?
" I wouldn't have been back together with Bella without your effort so i want to treat you out to express my gratitude". He replied and my face sadden but I tried hard to smile, I should have known better.
" Come on Nick, you really don't have to do this, it means nothing to me".
" It means everything to me". He said staring deep into my eye, which suddenly made me feel uncomfortable.
" Ok, but i don't feel like going out"
"Fine, then i can keep you company here".
We talk for a while about our childhood experience, well i really have nothing much to say because the least i do when i was a child is to look out the window and wait for Dad to come home, looking forward to when Mum will come home and regular weekend outing with my dad. Nick shared lot of fun experiences he had with his twin sister and also told me the fun he had with his father when he was alive.
"What about your mother? Don't you two hang out"?
"Mum has always been a workaholic, she don't give time to anything expect her personal self".
" You must really miss your dad".
" No, i don't, because he is always here, in my heart".
We talk about other things before watching a Korea drama. We were enjoying the drama that we didn't realize when mum come in until she let her presence known.
"Welcome Mum".
"Thanks dear".
"Good afternoon ma"
"Oh afternoon".
"Mum he is Nick a friend and also yesterday celebrant".
"Happy birthday in arias dear please feel at home". She said all smile which made me a bit relaxed.
Nick had lunch with Mum and i then left after assisting me in washing the dishes.
In about an hour after Nick left, Courtney also drop by.
"Hi baby".
"How are you?"
"Am fine hon, today was fun, Jason and i went on our first date, he even gave me a ride down here".
" Awwwwwww lovely. At first irst i couldn't believe it when you share the news that he is your boyfriend". I giggled " Why didn't he come directly to you, was he shy?"
" No, he said he only wants to surprise me".
"Oh!"
"Now explain the little drama with Bella at the party last night? "
" Ermm... You mean that? "
"Yes that"! She shout which made Mum come out of her room.
"Mum".
"Good afternoon ma".
"Afternoon dear".
"Mum she is Courtney my friend".
"It's nice meeting you dear."
"Same here, ma".
" Please feel at home". Mum added and went back to her room.
"I was scared back there, your mum came out frightened".
" You funny, my Mum is nice".
" Now explain what happened yesterday? " She ask and i started thinking of a perfect lie.
